The Test Way, West Down, Chilbolton to Stockbridge Distance: 3 miles Start: West Down, Chilbolton A 44 mile long-distance walking route takes you from its dramatic start, high on the chalk downs at Inkpen, to follow much of the course of the River Test to Eling where its tidal waters flow into Southampton Water. This is without doubt Hampshire's longest and finest chalk stream, world famous for its superb trout fishing The way has been divided into 8 sections, each providing a really good day-out. Choose between water meadows or tidal marshes, riverbank picnics or cosy pubs, steep hills with exhilarating views or cool peaceful woodland. The route passes through some of the most picturesque villages in Hampshire, strewn with listed buildings, historic churches and houses. It is well sign posted and waymarked. Horse-riders and cyclists can also use some parts. Directions This part of the route uses an old dismantled railway line to lead you down to Stockbridge. The river is always beside you, peeping through the trees, passing the villages of Leckford and, across the river, Longstock. Stockbridge's wide main street rests on a chalk causeway built over the seven streams that make up the River Test. The water criss-crosses the high street, where you can take a break from your route to feed the huge trout or explore the many antiques and crafts shops, galleries, pubs and cafés. .

Barton Stacey Conservation Area Character Appraisal 1 Introduction
Barton Stacey Conservation Area Character Appraisal 1 Introduction Conservation Areas A conservation area is an area designated by the local planning authority as one of special architectural or historic interest. Once designated, the local authority has a duty1 to ensure that the character of a conservation area is preserved or enhanced, particularly when considering applications for development. Purpose of Character Appraisals Local authorities are encouraged to prepare Character Appraisals, providing detailed assessments of their conservation areas. Appraisals enable the local authority to understand the elements that give each area its distinct and unique character, identifying special qualities and highlighting features of particular signiﬁ cance. Those elements include: historic development; landscape and topography; style, type and form of the buildings, and the spaces between buildings; materials, textures, colours and detailing; and less tangible aspects, such as sounds and smells, which can contribute to the special character of the area. A Character Appraisal is intended as an overview, providing a framework within which individual planning applications can be assessed. It includes text, an appraisal plan and photographs. It is not realistic to refer to every building or feature within a conservation area – but the omission of any part does not mean that it is without signiﬁ cance. 1 Under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. 2 2 The Barton Stacey Conservation Area Context Barton Stacey Conservation Area was originally designated on 25th April 1984 in recognition of its special architectural and historic interest. Local authorities have a duty to periodically review their conservation areas to ensure that they are still relevant and that boundaries are logical and could be defended if a planning appeal were made.

The Middleton Estate
WELCOME TO THE MIDDLETON ESTATE Dear Angler, Welcome to the Middleton Estate! By now I hope you are settled and are relaxing with a cup of coffee. Here is a summary of the fishing and what to expect; have a lovely day. THE RIVER TEST The River Test has a total length of 40 miles and flows through the Hampshire downlands from its source near Overton, 6 miles to the west of Basingstoke, to the sea at the head of Southampton Water. The river rises in the village of Ashe, and flows west through the villages of Overton, Laverstoke, and the town of Whitchurch, before joining with the Bourne Rivulet at Testbourne and turning into a more southerly direction. It then flows through the villages of Longparish and Middleton to Wherwell and Chilbolton, where the Rivers Dever and Anton contribute to the flow. From Chilbolton the river flows through the villages of Leckford, Longstock, Stockbridge and Houghton to Mottisfont and Kimbridge, where the River Dun joins the flow. From here the village of Timsbury is passed, then through the grounds of Roke Manor before reaching the town of Romsey. On the western edge of Romsey, Sadler's Mill, an 18th Century watermill, sits astride the River Test. South of Romsey, the river flows past the country house of Broadlands, past Nursling that was once the site of a Roman bridge, and between Totton and Redbridge. Here the river is joined by the River Blackwater and soon becomes tidal, widening out into a considerable estuary that is lined on its northern bank by the container terminals and quays of the Port of Southampton.
